Among various wheel accessories, wheel spacers are one of the most cost-effective and useful components. There are several factors that determine how thick spacers you need to clear wrong offset problems. The first thing to consider is your wheel clearance. For instance, take a straight edge and place it against the outermost part of the rims/tires, then measure from the outside wheel to the fender line to see how much space you have available.
If the value is 20mm, then it is recommended to use 20mm wheel spacers. Wheel spacers are components that reduce wheel offset. Simply put, a 1-inch wheel spacer will reduce about 25mm offset. Simply, use the wheel offset to subtract the final offset you want, then the result is the ideal size of your wheel spacer. Therefore, if you get new offset wheels, compare the OEM wheel offset to the aftermarket ones, and then you will quickly find out the perfect wheel spacer sizes.
Should I Put Wheel Spacers on All Wheels?
Generally, if you want to keep the same wheel offset, you must have wheel spacers installed on all 4 wheels. But you can put spacers on just the front or rear wheels only. Wheel spacers are designed for function and cosmetics. By moving the wheels and tires further from the suspension, the wheel spacers create more inner wheel clearance which is good to prevent larger tires from rubbing against the inner fenders, shock absorbers, brake calipers, or other parts.
In particular, BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers are finished with textured surfaces on the sides. The side knurling design eliminates internal stress which contributes to more reliable product mechanical properties. The crisscross knurling pattern enlarges the cooling area which is good for the active cooling effect. In addition, the appearance really looks great. BONOSS forged active cooling hub-centric wheel spacers are set to boost the whole driving experience.
Who Makes Good Wheel Spacers?
Brand manufacturers focus on quality and performance. Before leaving the factory, BONOSS’s tech staff will do a series of inspections on the finished wheel spacers to check for any defects. They measure the individual aspects of the spacers to make sure that they meet the design specifications. Besides, BONOSS takes the forged active cooling wheel spacers to safety tests, like tensile strength, proof load, yield strength, hardness, and so on.
All BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers are made of forged 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The 6061-T6 or 7075-T6 aluminum alloy is high-quality aluminum which has excellent processing performance, good corrosion resistance, high toughness, and no deformation after processing. The tensile strength is up to 572 MPa and the yield strength is up to 503 MPa. High tensile strength gives it strong resistance to being pulled apart, making it resistant to bending and breaking.
